"When did you get the impression that I would take action myself?"
Those cold words struck like a hammer, smashing Yoshimura's confidence and his pity for Luo Shu's death to pieces. In their place came the fear of being toyed with in the palm of the other man's hand.

With Luo Shu's emotionless murmur.
Countless wounds suddenly burst open all over Touka Kirishima's body with a bang.
Crimson blood spurted out, staining the stones
